Industrial Applications

1. Tension Control in Film Winding Lines

Utilizes the precise 14-bit analog output voltage to regulate the torque command of a winding motor drive, preventing physical stretching or breaking of delicate plastic or metal films.

Problem Solved

Maintains constant tension across variable-diameter spooling applications by providing minute and highly responsive output adjustments.

2. Inverter Motor Speed Control

Generates analog speed commands for variable frequency drives (VFDs) using the module's 4 to 20 mA current outputs or 0 to 10 V voltage outputs across 4 separate conveyor axes.

Problem Solved

Eliminates sudden step-like velocity changes in production transport lines, avoiding mechanical wear and product tip-overs through rapid 500 µs signal updates.

3. Precision Modulating Flow Valve Positioning

Controls the proportional opening of electronic or pneumatic modulating valves in chemical dosing plants by supplying highly accurate 4 to 20 mA positioning loop signals.

Problem Solved

Prevents dosing inaccuracies and chemical waste in automated compounding systems thanks to the excellent ±0.3% current accuracy.
